Wedding Cake Toppers – A Growing Trend

Wedding cake toppers didn´t used to be as fashionable for weddings as they are these days. More and more they are becoming as important as the wedding cake and are one of the fastest growing wedding gifts.

Once over, wedding cake toppers just used to be in the form of a generic bride and groom couple. Now, though a wedding cake topper can be custom designed to the wedding couple’s specifications which really makes the wedding cake even more unusual. Personalised wedding cake toppers that are constructed from sugar paste or clay can be crafted to look like copies of the happy couple even including their wedding day outfits. Grooms can be shown wearing kilts, military uniforms or their favourite football team kit! Brides can be made wearing their wedding outfits, veils and tiaras and even down to hair styles and the type and colour of flowers used in their bouquet.

They can even be themed around the time of year that they are getting married such as Christmas or Valentine´s Day or if it is a wedding on the beach in some far flung exotic location. Family members and even pets can be added for that extra special touch. Many of the more popular cake toppers seem to be funny and humourous to reflect the bride and groom’s personalities.

Once the wedding cake is long gone a cake topper can be kept as a very special keepsake and memento of one of the most special days a couple will ever have. ?A brand new fashion for 2010 is for monogrammed wedding cake toppers. This kind of wedding cake decoration is believed to have started from the USA and very few British and European retailers seem to have them available yet! They are usually crafted from brushed steel or acrylic and all of the letters of the alphabet and some numbers are available. Monogram wedding cake toppers usually include the initials of the wedding couple i.e. ´M & P´.

What makes them really special though is that they are hand decorated with Swarovski crystals in a choice of colours to match your wedding day theme. These crystal cake toppers really do create the ´wow´ factor sat on the top of your wedding cake to really add some bling!

There is a wedding cake topper matching every taste and every budget!
